£640 3rd part F&T
1500 miles
uk and euro breakdown
£100K legal cover
35 days insurance per trip in europe

im in one of the worst rated areas for insurance and have 0 no claims bonus

im 18 and the car has alloys, fog lights (bar at the front) and halogen lights.

great service i say and very easy

i just spent a year restoring the car, bought for £150 and spent nearly £1000 of my own money + birthday and christmas gifts on it, so alot of time and effort went into it and gld it isnt a stupid quote...

just thought i'd share this :P

oh and i reduced it by 8p because i moved the start date a week ahead lol

well done to you, had several quotes from them over the years and they've always been very poor. Good to hear you have had better results
